We've seen movies getting price reductions a few times in BlackBerry World, but I was having a quick look through this week and noticed that for just £0.79 there are some real gems on offer.

I tend not to watch many movies myself on my BlackBerry, but maybe that's as I use the Q10 as my primary device. But for you all touch BlackBerry 10 users you may well want to take advantage of these latest offerings?

The list includes the following titles, just to name a few:

Taken 2

Frozen

Die Hard 4

Thor: The Dark World

The Wolverine

I'm in the UK so I'm not 100% sure this is a global sale (for those that have access to movies), so please hit up the comments and let us know if you're seeing them at the reduced price and in what region you are?

Usually a matter of licensing with different studios. Every country has their own laws so the stores need to negotiate new deals with each studio for each country. Some of those countries have fairly strict laws, others very loose. You end up with the stores having to debate whether they would make enough profit to justify all the hassle on a per country basis. We're often left out in Canada: tougher laws + smaller population = not worth it to many.

iTunes much more than anyone else seems to have to made the effort to go global, probably because their business model is more to drive you toward their devices by offering good services so they don't mind a modest gain from the movies themselves.

I got a lot of 99¢ movies in the last sale, and some of these titles would be great to own at that price, but no love for Canada right now... CURSE YOU, ROVI!!! (Naw, I'm sure they'll get to Canada soon and we'll have a different selection, but hopefully Anchorman 2 will be one of them)

I saw bits of the "newscaster rumble" at HMV and thought that scene would be fun to watch in its entirety. Love the Canadian news team saying "Sorry" after every vile threat. :-) All those cameos! I think I'd rather pay the 99¢ instead of trying to get it through... non-approved sources.

It's easier to just buy the DVD and use Handbrake to convert it to a phone compatible format. Certainly not cheaper though, but it works great and doesn't have any "you can only use this for x years before you need to buy it again" nonsense.

And.... AND! No large download required when using DVD converted on your computer.

Yes, completely weird why we cannot rent movies through BlackBerry World in certain European countries? Soon, Netflix will come to my country but I rather support BlackBerry by renting movies thru the app world. Anyone knows why this is so?

I downloaded and watched Saving Mr Banks over the weekend for 79p here in the UK. Bargain price, no need to go hunting for pirate copies when you can buy at this price. The only small snag is I connect my Z10 via HDMI cable to my TV and you can see the film stutter throughout the movie. I guess it's the phones graphics are too slow to cope with the frame rate. Anybody else experienced this issue?

I bought 7 movies for. 99 back on December I think. I could not stream them from my Z30 to my tv (with miracast) like every other video I have, couldn't save the working file on any other devices and then to top it off they all stopped working after a few months. Some deal

99cents a movie, a dream here in France....
Have a friend who was @Netflix insider, Netflix is planning to settle office in France, but prices will be drastically more expensive than in US.
Maybe BlackBerry World is testing a service...hopefully to expand it after.
But Universal paramount Sony etc will never ever lower prices in Europe.

I buy the Blue Ray with Digital copy. Always nice to have a hard copy and with the digital copy I can play across all my platforms and stream to smart TV without ever needing to pop the disc into the tray.

With that said,
No wonder people turn to torrent sites. The studios and their insane copyright and licensing agreements stifle their profits. More people would buy if they had access.

I would really like to see BlackBerry charge a one month free like Netflix dose because they have movies I would be watching all the time in blackberry world. Please BlackBerry let's make them changes!
